Present the information in a tabulated formatMr. Karim is an investment banking analyst at Benchmark Financial, and hewants to calculate the expected rate of return for a security.

- SVR Clinical Research, LLC Mrs. Seaver, a microbiologist and pharmacist, has developed a drug therapy to treat dysphagia (swallowing problems). She discovered that a combination of existing drugs should address problems with swallowing that have only marginal treatments available to date. Since the therapy is using currently approved drugs, safety of the treatment is expected. It should allow the drug to enter Phase 2 clinical trials very soon after the firm raises its first $3 million in seed capital. Startup investors recognize that they are investing in firms with no history and with significant risk. They evaluate investment opportunities using required returns in the range of 10x5 (That is, the investors want to have their investment return to be 10 times great than the initial investment at the end of 5 years.) Mrs. Seaver's team has developed a clinical trial plan using major research medical centers such as the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the Cleveland Clinic. The…Suppose that sending an analyst to an executive education program will raise the precision of the analyst’s forecasts as measured by R-square by .01. How might you put a dollar value on this improvement? Provide a numerical example.As a financial analyst, you are tasked with evaluating a capital-budgeting project. You were instructed to use the IRR method, and you need to determine an appropriate hurdle rate. The risk-free rate is 4%, and the expected market rate of return is 11%. Your company has a beta of 0.75, and the project that you are evaluating is considered to have risk equal to the average project that the company has accepted in the past. According to CAPM, the appropriate hurdle rate would be A. 15%. B. 9.25%. C. 4%. D. 11%. E. 0.75%
- As a junior investment manager, your boss instructs you to help a client to invest $100,000 for the next year. Particularly, you are asked to form an investment portfolio for the client by investing in risk-free assets like 90-day bank bill and two stocks: A and B. Stock A has a beta value of 0.8, an expected return of 7% and a standard deviation of 10%; and stock B has a beta value of 1.2, an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 15%. The correlation coefficient between the returns for the two stocks is 0. The risk-free rate is 2%. (a) What is the expected return of the risky portfolio with the two stocks that has the least amount of risk? (b) Suppose that the optimal risky portfolio with the two stocks has a weight of 53% in A and 47% in B, and has the expected return of 9.4% and standard deviation of 8.8%. If this client is willing to take a risk measured by standard deviation of 5% for his overall investment portfolio, how much would you recommend to the client to…Ahsan, an individual investor, is evaluating the investment opportunity. To evaluate this investment, he collected the relevant data and has estimated the following result and their likelihood (probability). There are three possible results and each of them will generate a different return. Outcome Probability Rate of Return A 30% 50% B. 50% 30% 20% 70% a. Calculate the expected rate of return for the investor. b. What is the importance/relevance of expected rate of return? Answer:Your firm is planning to invest in an automated packaging plant. Harburtin Industries is an all-equity firm that specializes in this business. Suppose Harburtin's equity beta is 0.83, the risk-free rate is 5%, and the market risk premium is 5%. a. If your firm's project is all-equity financed, estimate its cost of capital. After computing the project's cost of capital you decided to look for other comparables to reduce estimation error in your cost of capital estimate. You find a second firm, Thurbinar Design, which is also engaged in a similar line of business. Thurbinar has a stock price of $24 per share, with 15 million shares outstanding. It also has $104 million in outstanding debt, with a yield on the debt of 4.8%. Thurbinar's equity beta is 1.00. b. Assume Thurbinar's debt has a beta of zero. Estimate Thurbinar's unlevered beta. Use the unlevered beta and the CAPM to estimate Thurbinar's unlevered cost of capital. c. Estimate Thurbinar's equity cost of…
- Consider a client with a 10% return objective. A financial adviser creates a policy statement for that client, identifies relevant financial securities that fit the risk return profile for this client, and drafts an optimal asset allocation using specialized optimization techniques.
